Participants and guests of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon races are encouraged to visit the Health and Fitness Expo at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. The expo, which opens at 11 a.m. on Friday, provides runners with a preview of what they can expect when they attend.
Upon arriving at the expo, runners can find the packet pickup station and line up according to their bib number. After presenting a valid form of ID and bib number, runners will receive their packet and can then proceed to the “In Honor Of” bib station to dedicate their race. Inside the packet, runners will find a bib, commemorative t-shirt, race towel, event guide, and course maps.
The Health and Fitness Expo serves as a hub of activity and information for participants and guests of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Many visitors come to the expo seeking inspiration and knowledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Red Coyote founder Jon Beck, who runs two health and fitness stores in the city, describes this weekend as the “Super Bowl” for his company, as it gets increasingly busier throughout the weekend.
It is important for runners participating in the 5K, Senior Marathon, and Kids Marathon to pick up their packets at the expo. Before race day, runners should carefully review the information provided in their bib confirmation email to ensure accurate division placement. The expo provides an opportunity for runners to connect with organizations supporting the Run to Remember event and gain valuable insights into maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
